William Tyndale (c. 1492–1536) was born at some time in the period 1484–1496 (Wikipedia; Loane gives 1490-95), possibly in one of the villages of Gloucestershire. He was educated at Magdalen Hall (later Hertford College), Oxford University (BA, 1512; MA, 1515) and attended Cambridge between 1517 and 1521. He was a gifted linguist, over the years becoming fluent in French, Greek, Hebrew, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish, in addition to his native English.

William Tyndale was born near the Welsh border of England in 1494. Forty years earlier, two important events occurred in Europe which would have a great impact on Tyndale's life and work. In May, 1453, the Turks had stormed Constantinople, and the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire fell to the Muslim invaders.
